Donald Knuth claims Indian prosodists discovered this object while counting all 1 and 2 beat sequences with a fixed number of beats and he also used it in his polyphase sort.

Zeckendorf's theorem represents the integers as a unique sum from its elements. Its generating function has closed form "x over 1 minus x minus x squared" for "magnitude x less than 1 over phi" and Binet's formula gives a more explicit link to the Golden Ratio. Phyllotaxis, or plant leaf arrangement, follows ratios occurring in, for 10 points, what integer sequence which begins 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
